It'll be a minor miracle if it's half as good as any of the justice league cartoons.

True
If they want the JLA, they should just give it to Dini and write checks for him
His DC cartoons are way better than their movies
exception to Nolan's Batman series

I'm not really sure what the point of the film will be. If it's going to be gritty, dark, and realistic, it's just going to echo "Avengers". I mean, honestly, what was the point of the Justice League in both comics and cartoons? It was simply a way to get all the characters on the same page. "Oh wow, look! We get to see Wonder Woman AND The Flash AND Superman AND Batman!" Big whoop. There's no historical interaction between them that would interest us. Tony Stark has an attitude, so putting him in with the other Avengers naturally set up tension and humor. Did Batman and Superman have an antagonistic relationship? (Aside from the one Frank Miller created in "The Dark Knight Returns"?)

I guess a lot will ride on this "Man Of Steel" reboot--how it's accepted, which direction it goes in, and how Cavill does in the lead. If it's done well, a "Justice League" film might continue on track.

I would say that they are naturally antagonistic. I could see Superman taking on the same role as Captain America did in the Avengers, with Batman being a cross between Iron Man and Black Widow.

Agreed.

Well...I can see Iron Man. Romanoff though?
When has she ever been antagonistic to the team?

The timing works for Batman, too. They can kick off a new franchise around a new bruce wayne now, rather than having a Nolan bat and a Justice League bat the way it was going to be if their first run at this hadn't been killed by the writers strike.

LOL. Sounds awful. But I thought Avengers would flop.

The real problem is Superman. He can handle shit by himself. I mean really. What can Flash do that Superman can't?

That's what makes the character so weak. Even when someone finally manages to kill him he's just brought back to life.

I didn't think it would flop, but I was disappointed in the post-credits trailer I saw. I've never been so wrong about a film in my life.

"The Avengers" trailer followed "Captain America" credits.
A scene with Thanos followed "The Avengers" credits (presumably a prelude to the next Avengers film).

Thanks

Shit, even Spiderman is a better superhero than Superman.

Superman is really difficult to do

ultimate power+no personality=boring

That's why they always throw in the hidden identity stuff to try and make it work.

In a justice league movie, it won't have that.
